Kitna doesn’t sugarcoat loss

ARLINGTON – Jon Kitna scoffed when he was told in his post-game news conference that the Cowboys played well enough to win.

“If we played well enough to win, than we would have won,” Kitna said after the 30-27 loss to the Eagles on Sunday night. “That’s the way I always look at it. That’s a good football team. That’s a really, really good football team in every phase of the game and you can’t give them plays and that’s what we did today. A lot of things they forced us into, but there were a lot of unforced errors that we put on ourselves.

“You can’t do that…not in this league and not against a good football team.”

The Eagles intercepted Kitna twice, killing a drive with the first theft and setting up a field goal with the second. He entered the game with a 7-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio in four games under Jason Garrett.

“We turned the ball over twice and you can’t do that,” Kitna said. “We should have had a pass interference on the first one, that’s for sure. But you can’t turn the ball over…not against that football team, not in this league.”
